Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who fought tirelessly for justice, equity, and inclusion. His dream of a more just and equitable world challenges us to reflect on the role education plays in achieving that vision. At All Means All, we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools for creating a future where all students regardless of identity, background, or ability, can thrive. As the world becomes more polarized, we are committed to building schools as places of true belonging for all where equity, excellence, and opportunity are at the center, ensuring every student has access to a transformative educational experience. As Dr. King said, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education." Let us carry forward his mission by creating schools that embody these values and empower students to reach their full potential. https://lnkd.in/eaujYxw https://lnkd.in/gJfaXtdh

5 money lessons you can learn from Martin Luther King Jr. Lesson #1: Live modestly “Money in its proper place is a worthwhile and necessary instrument for a well-rounded life, but when it is projected to the status of a god it becomes a power that corrupts and an instrument of exploitation. Lesson #2: Invest in yourself  “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education.” Lesson #3: Give generously “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'” Lesson #4: Persevere “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” Lesson #5: Build with intention “Whenever a building is constructed, you usually have an architect who draws a blueprint, and that blueprint serves as the pattern, as the guide, and a building is not well erected without a good, solid blueprint.” 513 Capital Daniel Redlinger #americandream

MLK’s dream wasn’t just about tolerance; it was about true integration and connection—building bridges where there were walls. His words remind us that change starts with the courage to bring light into dark spaces and love into places where hate has taken root. As co-parents, we often face moments of division, resentment, or even hostility. It’s easy to let those emotions dictate our actions. But what if we used Dr. King’s words as a blueprint for harmony? What if, instead of reacting with anger, we chose patience? Instead of focusing on past grievances, we prioritized love—for the sake of our children and their future? This MLK Day, let’s honor his legacy by committing to being the light in our own lives and the lives of those we share responsibility with. Harmony starts at home. How will you shine light in your co-parenting journey today? https://shorturl.at/6qCOi

Did you know that Indiana holds a significant place in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy? In 1958, Dr. King spoke in Indianapolis about the urgency of addressing injustice with courage and unity. The speech was titled "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution". This year marks a first for me; working with an organization that observes Martin Luther King Jr. Day with closed offices. I truly appreciate that Centene Corporation and Ambetter Health honor this day by giving us the opportunity to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy of service, justice, and equality. Today, as we observe this holiday and transition to new leadership in our country, many of us may be feeling a mix of emotions. These feelings are valid and worth sitting with for a moment. But as Dr. King showed us, we must transform our emotions into purposeful action. By choosing hope, unity, and courage, we can each contribute to building a better future. For me, this speech is a powerful reminder as I step into a new role as DEI Employee Engagement Co-Lead for Ambetter Health. It’s a small role, but one that pushes me to foster understanding, create equitable spaces, and commit to meaningful change in my sphere of influence. Sit with your feelings today, but don’t stop there. Let them inspire you to take steps - big or small - and most importantly, remain awake. #MLKDay #Reflection #Hope #Unity #Service #DEI #Centene #AmbetterHealth #Indiana Read "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution" here:

As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., let us reflect on his call to teach students to think critically, discern truth from falsehood, and use education as a force for justice and progress. In an essay on education, Dr. King emphasizes that education should combine knowledge with character, preparing individuals not only to think deeply but also to act ethically. He reminds us that education must empower students to evaluate and weigh evidence, fostering decisions rooted in truth and guided by integrity. The NASEM Education Framework for K–12 Science Education reflects this vision, striving to prepare students to address complex challenges and make informed, evidence-based decisions for a brighter and more sustainable future. Together, we can work to make this vision a reality for every student. Read Dr. King’s inspiring words here: https://lnkd.in/gh5ud6te #MLKDay #ScienceEducation #NGSS

In a world where we rarely speak of the injustices, violence and division that still exist in our country, I find Martin Luther King Jr Day to be that opportunity to immerse ourselves into his writings, his words and his dreams for us to live not in hate or fear but in love and service. It's an activity not to be done lightly for it is a call to see the realities of hate, inequity, and our own silence to it. Over the last few years, I have chosen to use this day for such reflection as well as some community service. But, today, as I spent time reading his work again, I stumbled on a message he shared in 1967 to a group of junior high school students in my home state of PA. It’s unlike many others, yet seemed to be so appropriate as never before have I encountered so many individuals who have allowed this world to create within them a sense of unworthiness, a questioning whether they are “enough”.  And so today, I want to share an excerpt of MLK’s message below: “I want to ask you a question, and that is: What is your life’s blueprint? Whenever a building is constructed, you usually have an architect who draws a blueprint, and that blueprint serves as the pattern, as the guide, and a building is not well erected without a good, solid blueprint. Now each of you is in the process of building the structure of your lives, and the question is whether you have a proper, a solid and a sound blueprint. I want to suggest some of the things that should begin your life’s blueprint. Number one in your life’s blueprint, should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your worth and your own somebodiness. Don’t allow anybody to make you fell that you’re nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.” — From the estate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Read it again - but this time I want to challenge you to read it and then go look in the mirror at yourself and repeat what MLK is saying - “I am enough”. If we want to DO something significant then we have to start by believing we are enough, worthy, significant! #LessonsFromMLK #YouAreEnough

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” -Martin Luther King Jr." While Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader for civil rights and equality, his teachings also offered us a great lesson for building a better financial future. Here are some tips inspired by his legacy: Believe in your financial dreams: Just as King had a dream of equality, you should have a clear vision of your financial goals. 🟢 Freedom includes financial freedom: King believed that freedom was the most important thing in the world. This includes financial freedom. Work towards financial independence so you can have more control over your future. 🟢 Don't be defined by your economic circumstances: King famously said, "I would rather be a free pauper than a rich slave." This means that your character and values are more important than your wealth. Focus on building a better future while maintaining your integrity. 🟢 Invest in yourself through education: King believed in the power of education. Improving your knowledge and skills can lead to better opportunities and higher income. 🟢 Support businesses that share your values: You can also make a difference by supporting businesses that treat their workers fairly and contribute positively to the community. Take the first step, even if you can't see the whole staircase: Building wealth takes time and effort. King believed in the power of collective action this is why we work with busy professionals on their path to Financial Freedom by investing in Apartment Buildings that produce double-digit returns. PS: We can honor Martin Luther King today but also honor yourself by working towards our Financial Freedom. #Financialfreedom #Multifamily #Capitalraising
